And this is why the lesser evil is still evil.

When the majority of our voting public just chose the GREATER evil in all three branches of government, the lesser evil is still significant harm reduction.

And if the lesser evil had won all three branches of the federal government, maybe we’d instead be talking about how the voters sent a signal that the greater evil needs to tone down all the evil, and things can move in the right direction.

But nope, let’s just pull the lever on the max-evil slot machine to see whether we end up ma more in cyberpunk, nazis, or mad max!
